[Matthieu]

9,5

[zafiris]

Nice walls. Not marble but the colour is nice and very clean. Interesting architecture features. Interior design below average. 9

[OlekD]

I can only add that the tower is 123 m high!!!

[Matthieu]

It's my prefered church of Poland so far.

What's with this Polish invasion of the forum? :) There are more Poles forumers here than I ever seen, you posted a link on your forum about it?

[Raine]

invasion?
I thought that I'm the only one from Poland who is writing here. :)

[Raine]

anyway
10/10 when I saw it for the 1st time in polish subforum 2-3 years ago
but now only 9 (I don't like this tower)

[Phobos]

Bad copy of the old buildings,and the porticum,among other parts of the building,is horrible.
4.5/10

[Sky | Kai]

the coulmns are a joke, totally out of proportion. an offend for the amazing roman/greek coulmns, which were perfect in proportion because of strict rules of design.
the tower is horrible and the dome a little too chaste.
still i like (new) traditional architecture. and poland. so...6/10

[Paolo]

3/10 - this "gold" everywhere makes me sick :puke:

[Ellatur]

i hope the interior colors aren't as dull as that in the real life..
8/10

[Kampflamm]

Almost as bad as that building in Bucharest. Pure kitsch. I'm a friend of traditional architecture, but only if it's austere. Besides, the interior looks quite cheap compared to real baroque churches.

5.5/10

[SoboleuS]

It's impressive because of great size, but its architecture is really bad: strange mix of many styles and cheap copy of historic buildings.

[kanabi]

OMG nice piece of kicz-shit :runaway:

[eosendil]

:puke:

3/10 ... and i'm from Poland :)

[Fallout]

For these money polish Church could build some really impressive and representative church in Warsaw or Krakow, like Sagrada Familia in Spain. Instead they created a temple of kitsch in the middle of nowhere.

[Valia]

I would prefer a modern build like the Brasilia cathedral. In don't understand the neohistoricism building today, only one belgian dude, one hundred fifteen years ago, could have been a magnificent neohistorical building.

[WotaN]

Does anyone of you like it? I'll wrap it for him and he'll pay only for delivery... ;) Why, why in Poland? -9/10

[ƒƒ]

It's kitsch but very beautiful kitsch.

If this church is also called 'Sanktuarium Matki Bolesnej Krolowej Polski' I found that:
The belfry tower is 64m,
the central dome is 103,5m
and the tall tower is 141,5m.

[JohnnyMass]

If it wasn't for the columns, both outside and inside, it would be perfect, but they're totaly out of proportion what makes the whole thing look a little weird. Love the tower though. 9.

[Henk]

I like it. 8/10.
